    You certainly gets quite a haul of the rarer species, David.

    Both Jungle-Glories are T. klugius-top-female; bottom-male.
    In T. odana the wing bases are strongly banded, & the dark line ends on top of the big eyespot (not beside it).

    Saturn (Z. amethystus) female. Both eyespots are large & wider than the tornal lobe (folded up here.)
    In Z. doubledayi the spots are much smaller & fit into the diameter of the lobe.

    A rarity, Amathusia ochraceofusca. The outer margin of the big brown median band is very irregular on the forewing , but less than in A. schoenbergi.
    This band tapers upwards to the costal margin, but not obvious here because of perspective distortion.
    ( Correction: This is actually Amathusia schoenbergi )

    Mycalesis orseis is correct.

    Mycalesis intermedia. Forewing with (usually) two spots. Strong white shading to the outside of the eyespots.
    Hindwing indentation line sharp pointed at apex (giving it a triangular appearance).
    Lower two big eyespots (in space 2 & 3) very large, but not in line with the one below. (In M. mineus) they are in line.
    Note lines across the forewings can cause confusion with M. perseoides.
    See C&P4's Plate 16/22.
